The Red Wings are looking for yet another assistant coach this off-season as Paul MacLean will take the job to be the head coach of the Ottawa Senators. MacLean has been an assistant to Mike Babcock for the previous 6 season and is believed to be named the Senators 9th head coach later this week.

Red Wings had another assistant leave them earlier this spring when Brad McCrimmon left the team to be a head coach in a Russian league. Babcock will be searching for his replacements but will have to wait as there are still many head coaching jobs remaining.
